Chapter 159 The Night of Chaos (Part 2)

"Leave your life to me? It's not that exaggerated, You stay in this building tonight, don't go anywhere, call your people to this room to guard the door, those young men wearing black clothes are good, and I can't guarantee that there will be no one in this camp. A Slynt person." Iron Hand Ser looked towards Igor's shoulder: "Treat the injured area quickly, I will help you send a letter to Tyrion Lannister."

"What letter? He is in the city now. Besides, didn't you just say that sending someone out in the middle of the night is a felony."

"He's in the Night's Watch Industrial Park, I know." Bywat stood up and lifted oneself's helmet from the table, Trapped in his armpit, he walked towards the door: "You have to let your partner know about such a big thing. As for how to send a letter - it is a felony to send someone out in the middle of the night, but it is not against the law to throw things out of the wall. Write a letter. If I tie a stone and throw it into the city, my friends who live in the port outside the wall will naturally pick it up and send it to the Night's Watch Industrial Park."

so that's how it is, Baiwat has been guarding the Linhe Gate for a long time. Captain, this kind of means will naturally have a relationship, nothing unusual: "Please tell Tyrion, let him not be arrogant, don't bring the security team into King's Landing to make trouble and let the situation escalate."

"This Do you still need a reminder?" Iron Hand Ser twisted oneself's prosthetic limb, adjusted it to a comfortable position, and opened the door of the office: "Oh, I really can't imagine what Imp's impulsiveness looks like."

Then you are wrong, Igor smiled wryly, Tyrion can really keep his sanity and calmness most of the time, but this dwarf is still grumpy at heart, but his short stature makes him rarely have the opportunity to show it. Just like this time, if he hadn't clamored to get Slynt in three days, he would have used other gentler and more secretive methods to bring down Slynt - maybe he wouldn't have put oneself in danger at all.

King's Landing used to be such a safe place to start a business before it got involved in the power play, but once involved in the power game, the capital of the Seven Kingdoms becomes so dangerous lurks on every side in an instant.

Status, power and influence are really double-edged swords.

＊＊＊

Janos Slynt sent someone to sneak into the Red Keep to report to Robert that the queen wanted to buy oneself, and then sat in the Dongying office for a long time, waiting for the result When the news of the failure of silence came, I was immediately shivering with anger: "A dozen people, two crossbows, go and kill one person! Not only did people run away, but several were killed. Are your friends all pigs! "

Yalar Deem lowered his head and said in a low voice: "Sir, it's two... and according to the living people, the Night's Watch's bodyguard is also amazing."

"It's amazing, you maiden, don't explain it. Those who have suffered defeat will always have a bunch of excuses. Do you think I'm a fool? Why don't you say that they know Magic!" The commander of the garrison slapped the table: " Now what about that guy, is he hiding at home?"

"It is reported... after he returned home, he ran out of the house with someone and moved to the south of the city, because of There were so many people on the other side that my Little Brothers only dared to follow from a distance, but in the end they got lost at Flea Bottom." With Slynt's body shaking, Yalar shrank his neck in fright, and quickly continued: "But Just now, Mud Gate came to a brother who reported that the Night's Watch had just entered their Linhemen garrison's station."

"Call up all the brothers and bring the Qi Family to Linhemen to ask for it. People."

Yaral lifted the head and said unexpectedly: "But sir, didn't you say that you can't move at will these two days?"

"Idiot! There was an illegal firefight in the most upscale residential area in King's Landing at night, with three deaths and three injuries. In such a big case, should I lead someone to arrest the murderer at random?" Slynt wanted to slap the guy in front of him, "Go and do it, Qian Qian. Don't let anyone run out of the city! In addition, send a messenger to each camp in the city and send some brothers over. Jacelyn Bywat from Linhemen is my old enemy. I'm afraid that dead temper will not be good at befriending people... Is he? Yes, if I had known this, I would not have left it to you!"

......

The entire King's Landing moved, and the golden robes of Dongying were rarely dispatched. Along the mud street to the Mud Gate; and the messengers who started at the same time rode fast horses, scattered all directions to the Seven Sects plus the three hills, and issued orders to the garrison detachments throughout the city.

Anyone with some sources of information already knows the "insider" of Slynt's impending fall, but he is still the top commander of the City Guard at the moment, and he issued orders on the grounds of "assisting in the capture of murder criminals", at least On the surface, the golden robes still have to obey orders.

As a result, hundreds of soldiers of the garrison were called out of the dormitory, dressed neatly, and rushed out of the camp to Linhemen, the assembly point designated by the commander under the leadership of the officers.

The garrison was busy at various stations in the city, and at the same time, their colleagues at Linhemen had already been equipped under the urging of Captain's orders, closed the camp gate, lowered the latch, and did Well prepared to stick to the night.

...

Igor was attacked on the way home at about eight or nine in the evening, in what the Westeros call "the eel time", and after a toss, the time has passed. Midnight came to the "Owl Time" in the early morning of the second day. A large number of fully armed golden robes holding torches lined up like a Fire Dragon to the outside of the Linhemen garrison station and surrounded the camp.

A certain soldier jumped off the shelf next to the fence and ran to the Iron Hand to report: "Ser Bywat, Lord Slynt claimed outside the door that there was a murderer who committed a bloodbath in our camp and asked us to hand over, Brought back by Dongying for interrogation investigation."

"How many people have they come?"

"Probably, a hundred."

Bywater He snorted contemptuously: "Leave him alone, find a reliable brother to guard the two gates, and the others to come later."

＊＊＊

King's Landing Yes In a city, Linhemen is not in the center of the city, but at the southernmost end, which leads to the fact that the length of the journey required for the garrison to arrive at the scene is quite different: the nearest ten minutes, the farther such as the Gate of the Gods There are several li grids away from the Dragon Gate... Time passes by minute by minute, and gradually a dozen to dozens of garrison soldiers arrive with torches or on foot or on horseback, and they converge one after another. Join the team that surrounds Slynt here.

When the number of soldiers outside the Linhemen garrison exceeded 400, Slynt sent a loud ultimatum: If Jacelyn Bywat did not hand over the prisoners, they would launch an attack and force their way through. Go in and get people.

Knowing that it was almost time, Jacelyn Bywat held the torch up the courtyard wall and appeared in the sight of the colleagues who surrounded the place.

......

"Brothers!" Standing on the high platform and looking down at the more than 100 soldiers below, Iron Hand said, "In the middle of the night, I should have been lying When I was sleeping on the bed, because of something happening here, everyone came here in the dark, and I felt really sorry, but tonight, I really can't make any concessions!"

The soldiers looked at each other in blank dismay, the one who was on the night shift didn't care, he stayed up late anyway, and the one who should have been called to rest looked tired until the next sentence of the Captain at the Linhemen point. Their attention was drawn back: "I want to ask, how many of the brethren standing here to participate in this rally will get full pay?"

When it comes to money, everyone All come to the spirit. In the King's Landing garrison, all officers who are promoted by Slynt have to pay him half of their salary. Although ordinary soldiers are not so exaggerated, they will at least be deducted by 20 to 30% - if the officers who follow are strong and have backgrounds, then You can make less deductions, otherwise you can only admit that you are unlucky. This is already the golden robe unwritten rules that everyone knows, it is known, but no one dared to put it up in public, making a fuss about this, either get out or die... "Iron Hand" Ser What happened tonight ?
"Jacelyn Bywat!" Slynt didn't dare to let him continue, and immediately stepped forward, interrupting the Captain of the Riverside Gate guard standing on the courtyard wall with a loud voice: "Just before midnight, Someone fought with swords in the streets between Iron Gate and Dragonpit, resulting in three deaths and three injuries, we now have evidence that this person is in your Linhemen garrison camp, quickly hand him over, don't take those Some don't interrupt!"

"Do you still remember Herb and Ben?" Iron Hand ignored Slynt at all, but continued to talk to himself, suppressing oneself's voice with the advantage of his loud voice Commander: "Last year, Prime Minister Jon Arryn found these two brothers to testify when he was investigating the case of one of our chiefs buying and selling office, corruption and bribery and deduction of military pay. But two days after the news leaked, the two brothers were in One of the wrestling heads was hit by a stone on the way to get off work, and the other fell into a ditch and drowned! Do you believe this coincidence?"

Is this iron hand crazy, in front of so many people interview this? Slynt shivered from behind, inhaled and shouted: "It was an accident, and the case was closed long ago. Jacelyn Bywater, don't talk crazy over there to distract from the conversation! If you don't open the door and hand over the criminals, I will call Someone broke the door, get ready!"

"The soldiers of the two garrison died so inexplicably, and there is no explanation until now." Bywat whispered to the soldiers who were loyal to oneself behind him. With a gesture, he continued to shout at the rest of the golden robes outside the wall: "And today, another warrior who dared to testify against our superior appeared and reported to Prime Minister Ed in his real name. This man is now behind me. In the resident's residence, and the officer we are accused of, is now making up a baseless lie, forcing me to open the door and hand over this person!"

......

"Wow It's true and false."

"No wonder he dragged us here in the middle of the night to do things."

"This is too arrogant, what does it take us to do? !"

Amid the uproar and discussions of the countless garrison soldiers around, Slynt knew that oneself had fallen into a trap, and now that he is if you ride a tiger, it's hard to get off, he has to go crazy to the end Now: "Stop talking! Come on, set the door on fire, and burn it!"
